Today we are told that war is out of date, but, whether that be true or not, the ele- ments which won battles are still the elements that win life.

There were many trials, though, after the battle of Trenton. The cause of the American people was to pass its final test after much bit- terness of defeat and the most in- tense suffering. The supremie courage of Washington, his unfaltering faith in the righteousness of the colonial position, the devotion with which he inspired his forces,brought the final result. Had he been conquered at Trenton by the conditions that would have downed the spirit of almost any other leader, the American Revolu- tion would have falled and the his- tory of the world as well as of this land would have been changed. ———— Islands from the rest of the Philip- pines. And. on the other hand, this separation would be necessary in good faith to the Moros if immediate in- dependence were granted to the Philip- pines. And In the same good faith the Filip no civil officials and military forces should he now replaced in Moro- Jand by Americans and Moros. There 1s some ambiguity as to the steps to be taken to break the dead lock bhetween the governor general and the le; ture. The report divides respons:bility for the deadlock and assigns causes: (1) Opposition of the Filipino leg slature and leaders to efforts of the governor general to regain the powe vested in him by law of American sovereignty islands and (2) The governor his civilian XX k% I'rance—in less than three years after their alliance in the World War. But the dominions wavered. At the same time, the Monte- negrins fought Jugoslavia, and Spain ‘ought the Moroccans. Then came 1922, with fts com- munistic uprising In_South Africa against the British, and China started its civil war, and the Greco-Turkish War reached its awful climax in the destruction of Smyrna. In 1923 the Lithuanians seized Memel, the Bulgarians murdered their emier and started a revolution and ftaly bombarded Corfu, an island of eece. In 1924 Brazil had a revolution, as uso had Mexico. in 1925 France was drawn into the Moroccan .War, as Spain was de- cated.- France also had war with he Druses, in Syria, and shelled Damascus.

Putnam was to meet the rest of the force at Trenton—but he remained in Philadel- phia. So Washington had only about a third of his force obedient to.his orders, and his plan of battle thrown awry by treachery of his own menevals. When he, with 2,400 men landed 9 miles from Trenton, and began the march, as daylight was dawning, one of his officers reported that the powder of his men was wet and instantly came to order, “Then tell vour general to use the bayonet; for the town must be taken.” And it was taken, with 1,000 pris- oners.
